CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Having
discovered that Democratic officials
in the Post Office did once upon a
time-that is to say, last summer
-wrongfully and unlawfully per-
nit circulars valued at 46 cents to
be printed for the Chairman of d
Democratic Ward Committee, the
Republican organs are profoundly
apprehensive lest such unpardon
able wickedness should become
chronic IN the local Federal offices.
-Exchange.
If the Republican paper that
made SO much of this 46 cents would
only come to Annapolis we would
make its heart glad; for We know il
would be reioiced at the reciprocal
state of things that exists here. We
could show it the spectacle of a
rampant Republican holding Fed
eral Office, receiving a remunerative
salary and publishing a weekly Re-
publican paper in an U. S. Custom
house. Is this according to the
rules Of civil service reform

to edit first class Democratic, ree.trada.

A farmer of Dry Fork district says he has II
snake which swallowed an oight.day clock IN
August, 1856. Until the clock run down It
struck regularly, and its ticking could be
heard distinctly. a short time ago the farmer
found some eggs which had been deposited IN
q hollow log by the reptile, and on brt aking
them open found that each contained an
OPEN faced watch in first class running order.
He sold the watches at big profit, and has now
given the snake a post.hole augur, in the hope
that 1t will produce sufficient corkscrews to
enable him to open a drug store in st. George
Willis Blackwell, who chews two ounces Of
tobacco per day. but abstains from alcoholic
drinks, is the oldest man in Kansas. He re-
sides at Great Bend, and thinks he was born
i'll Fauquier county. He is l,745 years old or
was born in that year, We don't remember
which-and don't care. There is a man up in
Oakland township, this county, by the name
of samuel p. Mud, who weighs four tons, can
jump quarter of mile, and is 900 years old.

to ss02, 1926 per year, showing a saving to
the state in four years Of 81, 1886.
And during these four years, with the re-
duced expense account, so per cent. was
added to the number Of schools in the state,
SO per cent. to the number Of pupils, 60 per
cent. to the number Of teachers, and 30 per
cent. to the money for school purposes,
whilst the school term was extended In time
aud the teachers were paid in cash, instead
of in deprecated warrants.
The Democrats, when they came into
power In Virginia, found $l,Sl6,000 cash In
the treasury. When the Republicans came
in there was only B23,4gi in the treas
ury and a floating debt against the state OF
81, 900, AL At the end OF these four years
the Republicans went out Of power, leav-
ing 81 500, 600 In the treasury, which, after
three years Of Democratic rule, is all gone,
and the annual average expenses OF the
state have been increased to more than ST.
100000.
Again, when the Republican, or "Ma
hone" party obtained power there was
standing against the state nearly $6,0OO,0OO
Of unpaid interest on the state debt, aud
the credit of the state was gone. In four
years three-qiarters Of this accumulated In
terest was paid, and settlement had been
made with the creditors of the state which
in due time would have placed it's financial
standing on the highest grade. The Demo-
Gratis accepted this settlement as fair one,
and came into power under pledge to
abide by It, Failing to do so, the finances
of the state are again in an execrable con
dition.
Are not these sufficient reasons, withou'
discussing "the issues which divide the
two great parties of the country" to jus
tify the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN in saying
there are worse thugs than bossism !
Bourbon rule in Virginia is one of these ~

A Courteous Question Demands
Prompt Reply.


The Danville IVA Register comments In
very courteous manner upon an article in
the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN which said, in
speaking OF the opposition to ex-senator
Malone upon the part Of certain Repub-
licans:
But there arc worse thines than "bossism."
Bourbon rule in Virginia is one o! these.
The Register says:
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN Is paper which,
in many respects, we like and admire, aud we
cannot believe that 1t is really in earnest when
II says that Malone rule is better for Virginia
than the rule of Democrats. The REPUBLICAN
knows very little, 1t is true, Of the condition of
affairs in this state, but surely 1t cannot be
ignorant of the fact that Mahone's party Is
made up in the main OF ignorant negroes and
designing white men who have their own
private interests to subserve. II knows too,
that the great majority of the intelligent white
men and property-owners of the state are In
the Democratic party. Can there be any doubt
in the mind Of n sensible man as to Wal, h
party is best qualified to control the state OF
Virginia? And we ask the REPUBLICAN, to say
candidly If 1t honestly believes that the inter
ests of Virginia would be better protected by
the Mahoneites than by the Democrats. We
do not ask our contemporary to discuss tn
issues which divide the two great parties of thr
country, for we believe the NATIONAL REPuB-
lICAN is honest In its national Republican doe
trine, but simply to say whether II II lived IN
Virginia 1t would prefer Malone rule to Demo-
cratic rule. Give us candid reply.
A courteous question always demands u
prompt answer, aud the NATIONAL REPUB-
LIcAN replies that "it 1t lived in Virginia
II would prefer Malone rule to Democratic
rule.n 1t being understood that the "Mt-
hone rule" alluded to by the Register means
such rule as Virginia had during the time
when Gen. Mahone's political fri ends con-
trolled Virginia affairs.
And we will give some reasons for this
preference, the weight of which must be
admitted by the Register. Before doing this
we desire TO correct an error into which the
Register has fallen, when 1t says "Mahone's
party is made up in the main OF ignorant
negroes and designing white men," The
Register should examine the election returns
in the last congressional election aud in the
previous one, when Gov. Lee was elected,
and it will find that 1t is mistaken in this
statement.
Put passing that by, we ask the Register
to lSQk the facts squarely In the face.
When the Republican, or Mahone, II you
choose to call II so party came into power it
found the annual average state expense, to
be 81 ,0s4,G64. During the four years of Rs
publican rule the expenses were reduced
